xp network help

[Redbird]

I do not have an internet connection. I simply want to hook 2 xp computers together in order to play some games between the 2 computers. Both run xp.

How can I do it?

Re: xp network help

Connect the computers with a cross over cable.

You should be good to go from there but if it doesn't work still.

Go to network connections and find the local network icon.

Next set the IP address to 192.168.1 on the first computer and 192.168.2 on the second computer. After that you can play games, share and transfer files.
